Once again, a conservative news host was forced to be the voice of reason and decency when Megyn Kelly bashed Chrissy Teigen’s “non-existent dress” at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
Kelly used her wit to dismantle the gaudy dress that Teigan wore at the WHCD, cracking jokes at the expense of the Hollywood star, who clearly did not know about the appropriate attire for the event. Kelly said:
“Here she is with John Legend her husband. She has, by my count, three minions following her – that’s minions in her view – following her, holding the dress or the train of her non-existent dress.”
“I can see underwear, okay? I can see London, I see France, I see Chrissy’s underpants, which nobody shows underpants at the White House correspondents’ dinner. Okay, Chrissy? They just don’t do it. And nobody shows up with serfs to carry their train which there shouldn’t be on your White House correspondents’ dinner dress anyway, because it’s barely a formal event.”
“The elitism, the serfs behind her, the self-importance, the aggrandizement of this fake, stupid event It just tells you everything you need to know…It’s an absolute humiliation that she tried that hard for the White House correspondents’ dinner. She should be embarrassed.”
Twitter users were also quick to pile on the jokes at the expense of Teigen. One Twitter user quipped that “Chrissy Teigen forgot part of her dress tonight for the White House Correspondents dinner.” Another user, Collin Rugg of Trending Politics, said:
“Far-left model Chrissy Teigen walking to the White House correspondents dinner with her servants trailing behind her to hold her dress.
“This is what peak liberalism looks like.”
Glenn Greenwald Tweeted that the dress “reminds me of that COVID-era video of a huge team of masked servants getting AOC ready for the Met Gala by working on her hair, nails, feet, and dress while she and her boyfriend lounged around unmasked.”
For those that missed the AOC dress saga, here is a summary from the New York Post:
In a room full of dimwit divas at Fifth Avenue’s annual irony-free version of the Zoolander walk-off, Ocasio-Cortez easily bested them all. During the Met Costume Gala, the sole object is to get looked at by the most people, and AOC’s “Tax the Rich” dress was probably looked at by more people than all the others combined…
Lost in all the marveling at AOC’s cheek and/or cheeks was that the peons at the event (which required vaccinations) were wearing masks, but the celebrities got to schmooze and kiss and hug and clink glasses without ever smearing their makeup on face masks. Does the Delta variant care if you were once on the cover of Vogue or had a hit song?
Of course, for neither of these women will there be any regret. They got themselves into the news and that was the plan from the word “go.” But, even if just for a brief moment, they reminded the world just how out of touch America’s liberal elites really are.
